Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shards of glass can cut and wound or magnify a vision," Terry Tempest Williams tells us. "Mosaic celebrates brokenness and the beauty of being brought together." Ranging from Ravenna, Italy, where she learns the ancient art of mosaic, to the American Southwest, where she observes prairie dogs on the brink of extinction, to a small village in Rwanda where she joins genocide survivors to build a memorial from the rubble of war, Williams searches for meaning and community in an era of physical and spiritual fragmentation. In her compassionate meditation on how nature and humans both collide and connect, Williams affirms a reverence for all life, and constructs a narrative of hopeful acts, taking that which is broken and creating something whole.

Book excerpt: Beauty Starts On The Inside What does it take to be considered beautiful? Would you consider yourself beautiful? Would others consider you beautiful? The most important aspect of beauty lies with who you are on the inside. However, there's a huge boon to changing how you look on the outside: it can positively impact your confidence, it can change how people see you, and ultimately, it allows you to carry yourself vibrantly. Dennis Schimpf, MD, FACS, wrote Finding Beauty to help people understand everything they need to know about plastic surgery, including: - the different plastic surgery procedures available to patients, - how to spot myths and misconceptions about plastic surgery, and - the importance behind plastic surgery and its role in medicine. Plastic surgery is an art and a process, and the more people understand about the discipline, the more equipped they will be to handle expectations and limitations. Dennis Schimpf seeks to battle the stigmas and misunderstandings behind plastic surgery, and help you realize that no matter the extent of the procedure, beauty starts with who you are on the inside.

Download or read book Bloom written by Kelle Hampton and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In her tender and genuinely beautiful memoir, Kelle Hampton encourages us to not simply accept the unexpected circumstances of our lives, but to embrace them like the things we wished for all along.” —Matthew Logelin, New York Times bestselling author of Two Kisses for Maddy Bloom is an inspiring and heartfelt memoir that celebrates the beauty found in the unexpected, the strength of a mother’s love, and, ultimately, the amazing power of perspective. From the outside looking in, Kelle Hampton had the perfect life: a beautiful two-year-old daughter, a loving husband, a thriving photography career, and great friends. When she learned she was pregnant with her second child, she and her husband, Brett, were ecstatic. Her pregnancy went smoothly and the ultrasounds showed a beautiful, healthy, high-kicking baby girl. But when her new daughter was placed in her arms in the delivery room, Kelle knew instantly that something was wrong. Nella looked different than her two-year-old sister, Lainey, had at birth. As she watched friends and family celebrate with champagne toasts and endless photographs, a terrified Kelle was certain that Nella had Down syndrome—a fear her pediatrician soon confirmed. Yet gradually Kelle's fear and pain were vanquished by joy, as she embraced the realization that she had been chosen to experience an extraordinary and special gift. With lyrical prose and gorgeous full-color photography, Bloom takes readers on a wondrous journey through Nella's first year of life—a gripping, hilarious, and intensely poignant trip of transformation in which a mother learns that perfection comes in all different shapes. It is a story about embracing life and really living it, of being fearless and accepting difference, of going beyond constricting definitions of beauty, and of the awesome power of perspective. As Kelle writes, "There is us. Our Family. We will embrace this beauty and make something of it. We will hold our precious gift and know that we are lucky."

The essence of this slippery, intangible concept can only be found by embracing inevitable discord, disarray, and disfunction in all we see, hear, think, feel, do and say.
